The topic
of
this evening's talk is
the purpose
of creation.
This
question, what is
the purpose
of creation,
arises
in the mind
of every individual,
sometime or the other,
irrespective
whether he's rich or poor,
king or pauper,
black or white,
yellow or brown, whether he lives in America
or UK, whether he lives in India or
Saudi Arabia. This question,
some time or the other, crops up in
the mind of each and every individual.
Why have we been created?
Why are we here?
What is our purpose in this world?
And
most of the human beings,
they think
that
there has to be a supreme creator,
there is almighty God. And because of him,
we are here.
However,
there is a minority
who do not believe
in the existence
of the creator of almighty God,
and they assume
that the full world
has come into existence by chance.
And we human beings too,
we have come into being by chance.
Suppose
you see on the beach
the footprints of a human being.
Immediately, a logical person,
he thinks
that these footprints have been created
by the walking of a person.
A logical person will not
assume
that the footprints came into existence by chance,
or the footprints came into existence by the
waves coming on the beach, and when the
waves went away, it created these footprints.
A logical person will realize
that these footprints have been created by a
person. It had a purpose
why it was created.
This question,
what is the purpose of creation,
can be answered
in 2 perspectives.
Number 1,
from the perspective
of the creator,
that
is almighty God. And second,
by the perspective
of the creation
that is human being.
The first perspective is
the view of the creator almighty God. What
caused him
to create the human being,
what caused him to create this creation,
And number 2, from the perspective of the
creation, that the human beings,
that why were we created
by almighty God?
Those people
who do not
agree
in the existence
of almighty God and believe that we have
come in this world by mere chance.
According to this philosophy,
there is no difference
between the human beings and all the other
creation.
All have come by chance. Even the human
beings as well as the animals.
So these people do not have a particular
purpose in life at all.
They don't have a purpose for existence, and
they live the same way
as the animals,
drink, sleep,
rest, and procreate. That's it. So the purpose
of the animals and the human beings become
the same, to eat, to drink,
to rest, to sleep, and to procreate.
And because they don't have a purpose,
they try and strive
excellence
in eating, in drinking, in living,
and they become materialistic.
And that's the reason for such people,
materialism
becomes a god.
And because of this,
the same people,
they create drugs
just to own money, to have a better
living.
They create bombs
and weapons of mild destruction.
They involve in fornication,
in adultery, in homosexuality,
in *.
It doesn't make a difference to them
whether they make drugs
or whether they involve themselves in *.
The main purpose is just nothing but materialism.
